Instructors
"I started going to The Pilates Body about 5 months ago with no prior experience using any pilates equipment. As a new student, I went there reluctant and intimidated. The instructors made me feel comfortable immediately. They are professional, encouraging and extremely knowledgeable. I have learned so much from all of the instructors. The knowledge they exude illustrates how well trained they all are. Not only do I feel that I get a great workout from both the mat and equipment classes, but I have fun too and leave there feeling revived!
The Pilates Body is an enjoyable experience in a clean and invigorating environment. I have grown to love doing pilates. I believe my passion for pilates developed from the wonderful experience I've had as a student at The Pilates Body. If you want an awesome workout while being challenged, go to The Pilates Body. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself."
